Load log
Load log onto beam with a cut end against the end plate – positioned for a lengthwise cut.
CAUTION: The log splitter is designed only for cutting lengthwise with the grain— NOT for cutting
across the grain. This log splitter is designed for cutting logs only up to a maximum of 14” in diameter
and 25” long. Larger diameter logs could get stuck on the wedge and longer logs will not fit on the beam.
WARNING:
Always keep hands and feet away from the end plate, wedge, and partially split
logs while loading, operating and unloading the log splitter.
For vertical position loading: place the log on the endplate and turn it until it leans stably against the beam.
If the log is too big or oddly shaped, stabilize the log with wooden shims between the log and endplate or
ground. DO NOT use your leg or knee to stabilize the log. NEVER stabilize the log by placing your hand
on top of the log.
Extending and returning the wedge
CAUTION:
Remove both hands from log before activating Split Control Lever. Use only your hand to
operate the Split Control Lever. Never use any other body part, or a rope, cable, or other remote device to
actuate the control.
Many accidents occur when there is more than one person involved in loading and operating the log
splitter. Only one person should operate the controls. If a second person is assisting in loading logs, the
operator must NEVER actuate the Split Control Lever until the assistant and all bystanders are at least 10
feet away. NEVER allow an assistant to hold the log in place while the operator actuates the Split Control
Lever.
Move the Split Control Lever towards the end plate to extend the wedge and split the log.
Release Split Control Lever to stop wedge movement and return the wedge once the log has been split.
Once the Split Control Lever has been returned to its return position, the wedge is designed to continue
returning by itself completely until it retracts all the way back and stops automatically.

Local regulations should be checked regarding licensing, lights, towing, etc. Turn fuel shut off valve on
